As the plaudits continue for her new biography of Diana, Princess of Wales, Sarah Bradford has admitted that her feelings about the Prince of Wales' ex-wife have dramatically changed.

Discussing her latest royal book at the launch party for Diana in London last night, the respected historian, who recently said she now becomes enraged at claims Diana was 'mad', openly admitted she'd previously misjudged the Princess, saying: "When I began writing the Diana book I thought she was a silly schoolgirl, but the more research I did the more remarkable a person I realised she was."

In contrast, the author offered no support for the Princess's beleagured butler, Paul Burrell, saying: "I thought his first book was quite good. But what he's done and said since seems a bit sad and he seems to have made quite a lot of money out of it."

Burrell's book, which some reports claim has 'bombed' in the shops, was also condemned by the Princess's "authorised" (by Diana herself) biographer, Andrew Morton who says the man famously known as the Princess's 'rock' was solely "someone who was good at serving the tea."

Bradford's exhaustive new book has received rave reviews, it being celebrated as the first truly "grown-up" examination of the world's most famous (and discussed) woman._________________Diana, Princess of Wales is and always will be The People's Princess.
